SUN RESOURCES ANNUAL REPORT 2014 5
To help deliver the commercial success we seek for
shareholder value, we have secured a team of experienced
professionals who are based in Texas and managing day-
to-day matters there. In particular, Mr Stephen Smith has
joined as Vice President-US with extensive unconventional
drilling experience. This new team allows Sun to take on
the responsibility of operating its wells, where we can, to
maximise the chance of commercial success. We look
forward to Stephen delivering a good well at Jack Howe.
Also, following the end of the reporting period, our CEO,
Dr Govert van Ek, resigned and Matthew Battrick has
resumed the role of Acting CEO while we undertake a
search process for a new Managing Director. We hope we
are able to secure a suitable candidate who has extensive
US experience and most likely also US-domiciled.
My thanks go to the two directors who departed the
Board during the reporting period; the Honourable
Alexander Downer and Mr John Kenny. My thanks also
go to Mr Damian Kestel for his support throughout the
year and I hope we can announce new additions to the
very capable Board in due course. And finally I would
like to thank all our shareholders for their support during
the year, we believe we are now close to delivering the
success that has eluded us so far in our Journey through
the Woodbine.
